Encouraging Each Other

India is on the verge of major reforms and is self-assured to become the third-largest economy of the world by 2030. It offers the three most important D’s to the world Democracy, Demography and demand. Owing to the presence of the educated population, skilled labor and robust legal practices India is turning out to be a major destination for investment which is creating its stronghold.

The Indian engineering sector is of strategic importance to the economy owing to its intense integration with other industry segments. Engineering Industry is striving towards reducing cost without adversely affecting quality by controlling the amount of waste generated during production. The core idea is to create more value for customers with fewer resources. Industry is aiming for operational excellence as companies follow a range of strategies, including lean, automotive systems; they are also spending on R & D to improve operations.

Operational Excellence (OE) is one of the cornerstones to Organizational Success and Transformation. OE ensures stability of following parameters – health of machines, continuous flow of material, short throughput time and excellent quality ratio; that determine the competitiveness of the organization as well as decide customer satisfaction. Needless to say, customer is the king and it is essential to heighten his/ her satisfaction levels to delight stage to survive in the market.

Companies have been increasingly restructuring operations and implementing world class practices. The implementation of lean manufacturing practices has helped companies to cut cost and improve productivity. Engineering industry companies are also laying more emphasis on quality. They have extensively adopted the Total Quality Management (TQM) approach. Operational Excellence is fast becoming a norm rather than an exception associated with certain company or industry.

A typical lean implementation involves an initial value stream mapping (VSM) which defines the journey of improvement. Next there is the organizing of the house. This might involve flexible work systems and (especially) 5S (sorting, straightening, systematic cleaning, standardizing, and sustaining). Thereafter other specific tools can be rolled out – including standard work, single minute exchange of dies (SMED), total productivity maintenance (TPM), and mistake proofing (Jidoka). Further advancements might involve supply and demand, through just in time (JIT) pull systems and Heijunka (level scheduling).

A continuous improvement mindset is essential to reach the company’s goals. The focus of the industry should be on getting the right things to the right place at the right time in the right quantity to achieve perfect work flow, while minimizing waste and being flexible and able to change.
